If you need an option that isn't as document heavy, a DSCR cash-out might be a viable option if it's an investment property.

This goes the same for calculating rents in the area, I what to know the real data.. i.e. from the MLS, or insurance from the broker/insurance agent to make the right decision.

Generally, the biggest difference is that DSCR Loans often have prepayment penalties attached which typically will have a 1%-5% fee if you prepay the loan within the first five years so its the "risk" of having to pay a little extra fee if you sell or refinance the property pretty early on.PS - check out this series of 10 articles published on BP on all things DSCR Loans which can give you a full rundown on everything you would need to know when using this type of loan!

In Charlotte, I'd personally on South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth, Elizabeth, Uptown, or areas a bit further out like Ballantyne.
